Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Middle East & Africa Aviation Leasing Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Middle East & Africa aviation leasing market. Prior to the pandemic, the industry was experiencing an increase in air travel and transport, due to which the MEA region was seeing huge traffic of passenger airlines and cargo airline transports across the region. However, the restrictions imposed by the governments to curb the spread of the virus resulted in a halt in the airline industry. The Republic of South Africa imposed stringent regulations on air travel during the initial phase of the pandemic in Q1 of 2020. However, the Republic of South Africa opted for a more flexible approach in the later period, which helped revive the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on country markets in the MEA.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the total passenger traffic declined in the region by 93.7% in Africa and 95.5% in the Middle East. However, according to IATA, the MEA showed signs of improvement in air passenger traffic, with the resumption of domestic flights in May 2021, which recovered 60% of the traffic volume. Also, in 2021, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd saw a decline in revenue compared to the previous year; this shows the aviation sector was still in the recovery phase during this period. However, it is expected to recover fully and achieve the pre-COVID level by 2024.
